Humble Beginnings (Nelson/Marlborough) Nelson, South Island, New Zealand

I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

Hi JackSawyersauce

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer note, there has been no owner response. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.

Regards
TheCoddiwompler

DNF

Dnf seems it's gone

No cache here

Needs a check or archiving, cheers

Thought it was obvious but there’s nothing here

A DNF here today. Maybe due for a check

Couldn’t find anything

12/9/2020 pretty sure found where it should be but did not find

Log is wet! Easy find

Found, unfortunately it was wet

Nice flowers

Found it

Found while caching with ABL973. Thanks JackSawyersauce

I found this one while it was lightly raining. A bit buzzy here and current guidelines (Power boxes) would prohibit a cache being placed here, even retrospectively. I feel a bit stink for logging a Needs Maintenance but the CO could easily hide the cache a few metres away, change the size and still maintain this current listing. In the meantime thanks for the hide.

Details of the guideline are here:

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Nice easy find. TFTC

Easy to spot and nice sized container!
Except for 2 marbles nothing in, had only small swaps with me, but happy to leave some things next time.
I normally don't take things from a cache but would rather put something in, I have a little goodie bag often with me.

A short walk from where we parked our car to the GZ. As the hint said we definitely didn’t need one to locate the container. TFTC

Doing some caches in town today and trying to avoid the rain showers as they come through - a fine patch as this popped up on the gps - so a short walk and a quick find thanks for the cache

Cruising down the road and saw this was close by. Being a break in the rain we took a stroll to GZ and it wasn't long before i laid my hands on the cache. TFTC

Good

Nice easy find for my 4 year old twins

All good here thanks JackSawyersauce, and thanks for the cache and congrats on your first one.
This weekend was a planned trip to Nelson that we organised a couple of months back.
My niece was competing in the S.I secondary schools athletics meet at Saxton, (quite successfully as it turned out), and as my brother had organised a house in Tahunanui for 4 days I had a base for a good weekend.
So I took the Friday off work, getting into Nelson while it was still dark in the morning to start a big day targeting highly favoured caches and anything else that took my fancy. Once reaching most of my goals and catching up with the tribe later that afternoon the weekend took a different slant, and it was all about the athletics, catching up and chilling out for most of the next two days.
Jo popped over on Sunday, and after the relays finished we just had time to make the Mapua event in the afternoon, then I grabbed a few more caches on the way home. A great weekend in so many ways, with Nelson turning on some great weather.
Thanks to all the COs, found some good ones

Quick easy fine. Nephews found this one

TFTC quick find today

First geoarching we did and we love it. Thanks for getting us started.

Very quick and easy find as the cache was out in the open.

Nice easy find. TFTC

Quick easy find while out on a lovely summer evening.

Nice and easy. Moving the travel bug onwards (; X.

22244 Traveling through New Zealand to see nice people and places. Also to find some geocaches.

Today we went to Nelson to see the city and to enjoy many remarkable spots. we also did 2 virtuals and a multi, next to several traditionals thatr we found on our road.

Most caches were found quite quickly. A few took more time. Muggles did not watch what we were doing.

Looks like my previous found nearby.

JackSawyersauce TFTC and the fun it brought us. Theo

Quick find, nice walkways. SL TFTC

Thanks
Great find

Found by Alys and Sarah. 07.06.18

Found after a nice walk by the stream
Thanks very much!

8.05am. Easy find once I decided to follow the GPS.
Thank you. David.

Walked down the path and found this easily as it was quite visible. Unfortunately, no TB's to collect and looking back at logs, they seem to have been missing for a while. tftc

A nice easy find on my walk around the area. Unfortunately, both trackables were missing. TFTC

Found it

#2 today

Looks like a popular one with the kids. Tried to hide a little

We were hoping to pick up one of the trackables to take back to Auckland but they seem to have gone missing.
We enjoyed making the find though and had a look at the walkway, a beautiful spot and a great place for a cache. Thanks JackSawyersauce.

Lots of cool things I diffintlly recommend trying to find this one

Had the opportunity for a visit to Nelson for 2 days with Mrs Yeetrees as she was going to attend a embroidery workshop for 2 days, we decided that we would fly in late Friday night and stay the full weekend. Having booked this trip back in February we werent sure what the weather was going to be like but we decided that we would chance it. Managed to find accommodation at the Monaco Hotel & Resort as it was very central to where we wanted to be. Mrs Yeetrees decided that she would like to come caching in the end with me instead of attending the workshops as there wasnt anything to her liking.

After finding GC465R1 - Time to Play (Nelson), it was time to make our way to the next cache that not too far away from where we were. We decided to park on Aldinga Ave and make our way to GZ from there.

As we were making our way towards GZ, the local K9 from across the path was taking a bit of a keen interest to what we were doing here and started barking, thank goodness it was attracting too much interest. Finally arriving near GZ, it only took a couple of seconds to spot the cache, open and retrieved the logbook but there was definitely no signs of any trackables. Signed and replaced the cache back as found.

Thanks for placing this cache here and for bringing us to this spot, TFTC TNLNSL (12544), now to go to the next cache just not too far away.

Didn't realise there was a walkway here..nice, definately bringing the baby and buggy for a stroll sometime. Such a nice spot. Easy cache thanks and oh em gee squeal of joy a track able whoop. Left a ton of wee goodies for kids and people who like cockroaches

I am in Nelson with Taybeedragon primarily to get two multi caches, one each Saturday and Sunday, to complete the requirements for a ten day multi-cache streak. May as well do more caching while we're here!
Found the cache okay, and I must admit to being a bit surprised to find it here - there's nowhere here to hide a cache! Turns out there was. Ialso noticed that a number of the shortcuts around here are missing off the map, so I plotted them and will update the maps at while at work tomorrow.

The Seagnoid needs a couple of multis this weekend. So we are off for another adventure to Tasman, with The Seagnoid and Zara, early Saturday morning.
We are off down an entranceway to the walkway along the canal. This one is on the way. Yes its there and in plain site - so big - amazing. was sure it would be on that thingy. Snagged and tagged. Cheers

We found it !

Found tonight although felt a little dodgy sneakin ga round with a head lamp on but good to keep the found caches ticking over

Tftc

Found with TregearP whilst checking out property in the area.

A quick find with all in good order. TNLNSL, TFTC.

Another great weekend in Nelson, managed to sneak a little bit of caching in between viewing places. All in good order, TFTC

Well placed, added a bit of interest to my evening walk

Close to humming

Stopped by to collect a couple of TBs ahead of going overseas on holiday.

No one in.

Found this easily. thank you

Great intro to a new path

A quick grab while in the area. Thanks for the cache.

A quick find! Biking home this evening along a wonderful new biking path, we decided to stop and find this one! Thanks

Out cyclocaching around Richmond and Stoke this afternoon. This was find #13 for the ride. Thanks for the cache.

Zesty spot and 10/10 for packaging

Good find this evening, found with it's lid off but contents were still in it. Put it back a little bit more securely.
TFTF

A nice fresh log book for me to sign today. Had a bit of a chuckle at myself - thinking I would know what this would be like and where it was likely to be I searched in the usual places with not success, then I looked somewhere else - how could have I missed that on the first look lol tftc

Woops went right past it should have know I was doing too much Creek climbing log book practically destroyed not sure how waterproof this is will come back tomorrow with a new one as I live close left something but did not take as this has been a bit ransacked

Easy find, pen not working so make sure you bring your own.

Paper was damp so couldn't write in log. Retrieved trackable to take on a Trans-Tasman adventure

A little damp, the log that is not the weather.

Found while in area. TFTC

Thankyou for that one nice easy find but log a bit wet and full of water TFTC

Thanks!

Someone dodgy must have found this cache, was all exposed and a non child friendly "rubber" tradable left behind. Rehidden where I thought it could have been, could not remove rubber as I had so pockets on me what so ever plus children with me. Maybe next finder can take that out. Other than that great cache and thanks for the hide

I think also the trackable was taken away by the person who left the rubber behind as it seems missing.

After a little walk from the main road, my siblings were racing to this cache. The spot & the hide was really obvious. Seemed like it could be easily muggled. My younger brother found the cache. Find # 156

Nice hide lid was off

Found this one with the team from Auckland, Westies being the team. Can't remember much about this one, maybe one of the other 3 will...

Found on our Nelson Holiday...with Gorby , rustynz and Rebel98....Cleared out some old soggy bits of paper...thanks for the fun !

Our adventure started with a local event arranged by rustynz and a group of us are collecting as many caches in the nelson area as possible, ending up who knows where and by whom
our group is the gorbynator, suppernanny and the rustynz.

We came down the pathway by no 126. No we did need a hint for this one, but luckily it was hidden where we thought it was

Thanks for the hide, racing around Nelson for 3 days with supernanny, gorby and rebel98

Log later.

Found this a week ago and never logged it. It needs a bit of maintenance to clean out all the redundant bits of paper! TFTC.

Found it, not as close to the water as we thought it would be.

Went on a big adventure with Wafflekitties and geo pups, had a blast thanks for the memories! TFTC.
